Dilapidation negotiation and program of works in existing premises

DeVono Cresa specialise in advising commercial occupiers with dilapidation negotiation and program of works for their existing or new commercial premises.

Dilapidations is a very common situation in which occupiers have a responsibility to make good a property they currently occupy or previously occupied which is in disrepair. This involves either carrying out building repairs or meeting the landlord’s cost to provide the space back to the condition set out in the terms of the lease. Dilapidations claims are usually made either during or at the end of a lease.

Negotiating a dilapidations claim should be simple when you consider the different parts involved such as inspecting the property in question, then agreeing the cost of the repairs which is followed by either doing the works or paying the landlord the pre agreed costs involved. However in practice dilapidations negotiations are far more complicated and require an expert in this matter to help with the valuation, building costs and legal elements. As DeVono Cresa specialise in only acting for occupiers are position to negotiate in your best interests is unrivalled and our knowledge of the legal principles governing dilapidations (such as Section 18(1) of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1927) are vital.

"DeVono were an excellent representative for Toppan in negotiations with the landlord/agents. Even when things did not always seem to be going according to plan, through no fault of DeVono's the team remained optimistic and good-humoured, and never lost focus. Teams like that are rare and they are worth their weight in gold!"

Patrick Harty, Toppan Printing Co.

"DeVono did a great job on our behalf and I appreciate all the hard work that was put in. We will certainly give DeVono a call next time we are looking to move offices."

Martin Woodward, Tools Group

"Two things were important to us when selecting someone to find us our new corporate home: competence and trust. DeVono's competence speaks for itself not only in the remarkable growth and success that the company has had in such a short space of time, but also in the quality of the deals that the company is able to achieve for its clients working on their exclusive behalf. Trust is something that grows: in the way that. All of the DeVono team members treated each one of us involved in the relocation project in the way they accommodated our changing requirements; in the way that they respected our budgets and our deadlines. Competence is something that many commercial agents have - even if DeVono have the edge. Trust in commercial agents, on the other hand, is something I would only give to DeVono."

Dave Wheeler, Allocate Software plc

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the DeVono team for all your efforts in helping us find suitable office space. I was very impressed with the efficient and professional service that you provided us, considering our demanding office requirements. The turn around time was very impressive and the market knowledge you provided us with helped us to meet our deadline. I believe without your help we would not have been able to conclude this matter as efficiently and successfully. I look forward to working with you again in the future and will not hesitate to recommend DeVono to others."

Florence Monti, Salland Limited

"Our experience with DeVono and you specifically could not have been better. It was a relief to have an expert negotiating on our behalf and, most importantly, sticking with a long and difficult assignment."
